Volunteers Week To rewrite the rules, they have employed consultants to estimate how much renewable energy is being produced, just in this area. They are not counting the vast arrays that you and I would see as part of Lincolnshire, being in the Wash and just offshore. Having ignored that, they say we need to produce more. There is thus a change of policy to encourage onshore wind turbines. These are getting ever larger, now at 225m, compared to Lincoln Cathedral at 84m. This is now cheaper and helps Scottish Energy, but I believe we need a much better range of renewable energy Thank you for all who do so much to help others; In my providers, such as wave energy from rafts between the area this week, volunteers have given sports coaching, offshore turbines which increases our fish stocks and litter picking, given neighbourly support, helped in the diversity.

  • Adopted Central Lincolnshire Local Plan
    CENTRAL LINCOLNSHIRE Local Plan Adopted April 2017 Central Lincolnshire | Local Plan - Adopted April 2017 Foreword Ensuring a flourishing future for Central Lincolnshire Central Lincolnshire is characterised by its diverse and enticing landscape. The magnificent city of Lincoln is embedded within our beautiful landscape and is surrounded by a network of picturesque towns and villages: these places, along with the social and economic opportunities in the area, make Central Lincolnshire a fantastic place to live, work and visit. But there is so much potential to make Central Lincolnshire an even better place. An even better place to live, with quality homes people can afford, easier access to shops, services and facilities, and new thriving communities, which are welcoming and safe. An even better place to work, where new facilities and infrastructure mean that businesses choose to expand or relocate here, bringing jobs and stimulating investment. An even better place to visit, a place where people choose to come to enjoy our nature, our history, our shops, our eateries and attractions, while at the same time significantly contributing to our rural and urban economies. A new Local Plan for Central Lincolnshire can do this. This is the adopted Local Plan for Central Lincolnshire. It was prepared with the benefit of your very helpful comments we received at various draft stages. Inside this adopted Local Plan are policies for the growth and regeneration of Central Lincolnshire over the next 20 years and beyond, including sites allocated for development and other areas designated for protection. The policies within the Local Plan will make sure that our settlements grow in the right way, ensure we have homes and employment where we need them, and ensure our new communities are sustainable, accessible and inclusive.

I will forward the map in another email in the hope that it gets through. Nigel West Dear Johanna, I have attached Lincolnshire County Council's response to the consultation on the Boundary Commission's draft recommendations. The response is that of the Administration Group, with support from political Group Leaders where mentioned. In addition there are new maps for the districts of North Kesteven and West Lindsey, and associated data for West Lindsey. Please let me know if you require anything else. Also, I have been asked to forward the following added response from the Leader of the Independent Group on the Council, who represents the current Spalding West Division and is a member of the Administration coalition. This relates to point 2 in the submission relating to South Holland. "The largest town of the District, Spalding, with a population of 28,722 (2011 census) could be left with only one representative under the proposals put forward by the Boundary Commission. Residents in the West of Spalding, that the commission have suggested be put with Crowland, have absolutely no affinity with Crowland (10 miles away) Spalding residents NEVER go to shop in Crowland, never go to school in Crowland, never go to Church in Crowland, never use the Doctors in Crowland and do not wish to be represented by a Crowland Councillor.

  • ARTICLES by Peter Yerburgh Printed the Yarbrough Family Quarterly
    Volume 135 Yerburgh's Genealogy and History of the Yarbrough Family The Collected Works of Charles Peter Yerburgh, Esq., M.A., CoE Leonard S. Yarbrough, Editor June 2015 There are now more than a hundred different spellings of the family name – Yarborough, Yarboro, Yarbro, Yarber, Yarberry, Yawbry – but however the individual family spells its name, they are Yarbroughs, descendants from one of the oldest English houses. Whether we wish to admit it or not, we are the future of our ancestors, as our descendants are our future. We owe our descendants our dreams and bequeath to them the legacy of our collective accomplishments – nothing more and nothing less. To our descendants, we charge you with the honoring of your heritage. Your ancestors were hardy folk, god-fearing and plain spoken, and who recognized that nothing was due them except that which they themselves earned. They were not ashamed to profess their belief in God, their country and the American ideal. Of course, there were a few rapscallions in our collective history, but neither more nor less than in any other family. This is a collection of the articles and nomographs about the Yarbrough family, covering both the Old and New World Yarbrough family genealogy and history. Many first appeared in The Yarbrough Family Quaterly, which began publication in 1991 as a successor to The Yarborough Family Magazine. Peter Yerburgh’s contributions have greatly added to the family’s understanding of its place in English and American history. They also serve as defining evidence of the character of the individual families which comprise the collective Yarbrough family.

  • County Flags Have Been an Exciting New Development in British
    ICV23 YOKOHAMA COUNTY FLAGS – DEVELOPMENTS IN BRITISH VEXILLOLOGY Graham Bartram FFI FIAV Secretary-General for Congresses This paper discusses an exciting new development in British vexillology: county flags. Over the last few years we’ve seen more and more British counties adopt these “people’s flags”. Nearly all British county councils have flags, in the form of a banner of their coat-of-arms, but these are solely for use by the Council itself and technically may not be used by private citizens of the county. Surrey County Council Cambridgeshire County Council Graham Bartram’s Talk Page 1 of 28 1. County Council Flags IDENTITY The new county flags are a reflection of the people’s identity. Identity is a complex issue. I think of identity as a series of layers, none of which are mutually exclusive, and which vary over time and due to circumstance. I personally have an identity as a Bartram (my family), a Graham (my clan), a Macneil (my mother’s clan), a Hillsider (my home village), Montrosian (my home town), an Angus man (my home county), a Mearns man (my home area), a North-easterner, (my home region), a Scot, a Briton, a European and a citizen of the world. That’s a dozen different identities without going into my ancestry further than my parents! Many of these identities have flags and symbols that go with them. Montrose has a flag, as do Scotland, Britain and Europe; and each of these flags means something to me. Graham Bartram’s Talk Page 2 of 28 2.
